The Courier investigates: are private parking wardens protecting us from ‘chaos’?

In day three of our exclusive investigation into private parking charges, we spend time with one of the wardens responsible for slapping the “fines” on vehicles in Courier Country.

Our man, Graeme Ogston, joined a parking patroller to hear how he goes about his job and why he will offer a bit of leeway to some “offenders”.

He also argues that without the restrictions, Scotland’s car parks would soon descend into “chaos”.

We also hear about the shocking toll of violence meted out to the wardens by motorists and speak to politicians about why the private parking confusion has to end.

To follow the third day of our special investigation, park up properly, visit a shop, and buy a copy of The Courier.
